Madlib is never one to flex or attempt to absorb the spotlight, but he’s made a rare appearance in a new vignette produced by Red Bull Music Academy. Created to promote today’s “Fireside Chat” with the acclaimed producer, today’s Digging with Madlib piece finds Madlib doing one of the things he does best: digging through rare records to scoop up gems.
